paulrivera Posted June 14, 2019 Share #27503 Posted June 14, 2019 There’s undercover NYPD stopping people that are farebeating on the local Bx12 right now. About damn time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil 57 Posted June 14, 2019 Share #27504 Posted June 14, 2019 Did something happen at Charleston Depot? A lot of buses have cracked destination signs on the front of the bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future ENY OP Posted June 14, 2019 Share #27505 Posted June 14, 2019 0015 was training in Brooklyn earlier today. Spotted training along Fulton Street.. Not 100% certain if it was at East New York or Grand Avenue had the bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Valiant Posted June 14, 2019 Share #27507 Posted June 14, 2019 Looks like the Next Gens from YU, KB, GH will be sent to FP Depot to retire their 2005s since MV is pretty much out of the 2003 OGs and QV doesn’t use that many Next Gens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say that for a fact. You also have Flatbush and Queens Village in the mix. QV needs 40+ buses. Not including the LFS that are coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted June 15, 2019 Share #27509 Posted June 15, 2019 On 6418 right now and this thing is shot. Engine keeps revving up fully while barely taking off, then once moving it doesn't stop revving until the bus completely stops even when braking. We're going not even 5MPH and the engine is screaming. I'm really going to miss these things. This the only Green sign at MV doing a run in service right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re probably just running the remaining units with minimal maintenance till they have a major breakdown. Not much point in fixing little things in a bus retiring in a few days/a week anyway. — anyway 6390 is also out right now on the M4 if anyone’s interested 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocker... lol Staten Island’s fare beating problems are almost as bad as areas of the Bronx. The local buses esp. have always been bad, and the lines hat run through PJ areas. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes out of 15-20 people boarding the S79, I'm the only one that pays. The majority of these fare beaters are teens do I think that until they start paying, school trippers should be cut. That would especially hurt the South shore with S55/56 service being reduced from every 10 minutes to every 30 minutes. But that should reach them a lesson. If you don't want to pay for the bus, we aren't going to pay for your school trippers. I'm just wondering, If the OMNY reader isn't working on SI buses, but the MetroCard reader is, would everyone still have to pay the fare? Since people using OMNY would get waved on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your "lesson" will hurt students that actually pay the fare also. Undercover patrol imo would be more effective, that is, if the cops actually did anything about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If OMNY isn't working, OMNY users can technically get on for free. Hope the general public doesn't catch on a start lookin for broken OMNY readers to get slick and not pay by saying "I was planning on using that" 😭. But yeah everyone still has to pay with MetroCard, OMNY riders are excused. I've seen OMNY oos a few times the week of June 3-7. It was only on the local buses so people just didn't pay attention to the screen, and continued to pay with MetroCard. This past week has been pretty good, no broken OMNY readers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider yourself lucky. On the express end, lots of OMNY readers have been broken or off and drivers have not been letting riders on. Myself and another leader of a Staten Island Express Bus Advocacy Group have been discussing this. I’ve been trying to inform folks and she has been dealing directly with the and reps for the new payment system to answer rider questions about what to do when OMNY is down. Drivers that aren’t allowing riders in are being identified accordingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
